Diabetes Information

Lisa,
You are posting just fine to the list. Funny how the list isn’t
acknowledging you. I got this from the list and personally.
Hang in there.

I’ll also post this to Iris and see if she comes up with something.

Is anyone out there? I’m lonely and may go back to bed, it’s only 10:30 a.m.

You know you’re in trouble when…..
A black cat crosses your path and drops dead.
All your modeling jobs are for cartoonists.
Nothing you own is actually paid for.
The bird singing outside your window is a vulture.
The bride’s family throws rocks instead of rice.
The candles on your cake set off your smoke alarm.
The health inspector condemns your office coffee maker.
You have to borrow from your Visa card to pay your MasterCard.
You have to take out a loan just to get money for the down payment.
You put both contacts into the same eye.
You take an assertiveness training course and you’re afraid to
tell your wife.
You wake up and your braces are stuck together.
You’re so lonely that you invite the peeping Tom in … and he says

Christine,
Now, won’t that be lovely — spending more time with *john* than Wayne?? Get
it all out now. <VBG

Loretta,
Ahhhhh, the developments and tests they have come up with since the *olden
days.* If you are producing some natural c-peptide then you are a T-2
diabetic. I believe the cutoff is 4? Connie or someone should know more
about this. But if there is none, you are a T-1. It is the deciding factor.
T-2s do not show ketones. Since you did, I’m suspecting a possibility that
you are out of a honeymoon stage of naturally-produced insulin and are a
possible T-1. Connie gets a lot of mail and sometimes skims through. I
cc:’d her this message so it will catch her eye and possibly respond. She
was dx’d T-2 until showed large ketones and insisted on further testing. She
is now a T-1.

Dear List,
I got my EPO shot and lab test today and the facility was having a health
fair. I was able to teach many of them about pumping. 8^) When I got to the
foot venue the lady said, “You are a diabetic and have a ****** pump (don’t
recall the words she used but sounded like implanted).” I had *never* seen
her before in my life (inside joke w/hugsband).” She even named my endo at
the time and described my checkbook box-sized pump at that time. We’re
talking 3 mos. short of 17 yrs ago! I asked her how she knew. She said she
took care of me in the hosp. - I was there 5-7 days to get pump - and I was
the most compliant DM patient she ever had. She even bragged on me to the
footologist who checked my sensitivity. I passed, 10 out of 10.
Frankly, I think SHE has lost HER memory. Back in ‘83 I was doing visual BGs
and that for just a year. Before that were the pee tests and since the
results were useless, I didn’t do that many. I had neuropathy of my feet and
they burned so much I took naps to escape the pain. I thought amputation was

Gail, Mike is my new boss. He took over after Brian quit. James was
there then took a leave then came back a month or so before I came on.
We had a girl named Kim there that was hired with me but they transfered
because she was a trouble maker. Then we hired for summer and Rhonda was
summer help that was officially hired in August. She was the best of the
summer help. Then James was second in command over Rhonda and me. The
people over him took that way from him because he was not doing his work.
They also took hrs away and gave them to me and his to me and also put
me in second of command. That was bad because then James resented me.
Rhonda has been bad news from the beginning but because she is pregnant
etc. they are running scared of her because there is no paper trail.
They are afraid that she will sue. The Boys and Girls club hate bad
publicity. It really is not good. I told my boss that if she stays I
leave. I can not work with a person who yells at children all the time
and has no respect for herself or anyone else. I am very frustrated by

Hmmmm, sounds like a symptom of high BG in YOUR case!!! My quart-output is
due to nerves to the kidneys relaxing while I sleep allowing the pee to flow
to the bladder.
